this little guy and his friend were on my dill, so I brought them in and fattened them up with Parsley. the friend has changed and this one probably will tonight or tomorrow, when they emerge I'll release them back into the garden

Edit: finally emerged after four months!!

The friend in his chrysalis

It's so weird to see them wiggle when they are like this..

Keep us posted... If you get the chance to photo the butterfly I'd love to see it

Absolutely! I have a two year old so the emergence and release tends to be a bit chaotic but I can usually snap a pic on the branch

This is the friend, so the other one should be out soon
